How to get the coordinates of β12 borophene and χ3 borophene?

Lance Pickup  Follow

Jiang et al. 2018 (DOI: 10.1016/j.jechem.2018.01.026) may be relevant literature? Here's a quote:

These include three allotropes named borophene, beta-12(β12) and chi-3(χ3), whichhave been successfully synthesized by physical methods [26,27].

I also found this one:

Izadi Vishkayi, S., Bagheri Tagani, M. Edge-Dependent Electronic and Magnetic Characteristics of Freestanding β 12-Borophene Nanoribbons. Nano-Micro Lett. 10, 14 (2018). DOI: 10.1007/s40820-017-0167-z

Perhaps you may find the link to the .cif from all of the above?

For obtaining optimized geometry, energies, and band structure, the Perdew−Burke−Ernzerhof [1] (PBE) functional in nonlocal corrected generalized gradient approximation [2] (GGA) was used. The OTFG ultrasoft pseudopotential was employed with a plane-wave basis with a kinetic energy cutoff of 520 eV in Monkhorst−Pack [3] k-mesh with a 0.04 Å separation in the two lattice directions for geometry optimization. The adjacent sheets were kept 20 Å away to avoid all possible interactions between two nanosheet layers. Individual atom position and lattice parameters have been simultaneously optimized with the chosen cutoff value for SCF tolerance (5.0 × 10-6 eV/ atom) and forces (0.01 eV/Å) to get the well-converged geometries of nanosheets.

  • All the calculations were performed using the Cambridge Ab initio Serial Total Energy Package (CASTEP) [4] program based on the above-mentioned density functional theory.
